I tried three brews: weak, medium and strong. I headed to the town of Bilbila, and saw two really worthwhile churches. Yemrehanna Kristos is one of a select-few remaining buildings to be from the Axumite era. Abuna Yosef. To get there, you have to climb up a staircase that leads halfway up the hill.

The church itself is beautiful. Unsurprisingly, it was built by Negus and also Saint, again Yemrehana Krestos, and locals told me that Negus Gebre Mesqel Lalibela was keen to compete for a larger legacy, hence the churches in Lalibela proper. I was also told the olive wood and gypsum that the church is made of was transported from Jerusalem and Egypt by angels, allowing the church to be built in a relatively short period of time.

The floor of the entire cave, however, is made of locally-sourced pine wood. Underneath are puddles and mash, the water from which is considered holy and as such has curative properties.

Inside, the intricate woodwork continues, and there also some exceptional paintings on the walls, pillars and ceilings. At the back of the cave are the mummified remains of thousands of pilgrims, some who have come from as far as Jerusalem itself. The final church I visited, Bilbila Giyorgis, is where I had the best honey in the world.

Babila Giyorgis is said to date from the 5 th century, and compared to the other churches, you can definitely tell. The priest explained that the present colonies have continued on from that time. The honey itself is collected once a year, and I was lucky to be allowed to try a bit of what still remained from last year.

Not that it mattered, as I was happy to surrender my sense of sight to my sense of taste. Think of it as synaesthesia. As with anything church-related, the honey is also considered to be holy and is claimed to have curative properties for skin, abdominal and mental conditions. I was only allowed to try the honey once I had walked sufficiently far enough away from the church, and I can confidently report back that holy is an understatement.

Not only does it look opaque, but its texture is almost gritty. The flavour really makes you question why we refine our honey so much back at home. Negus Gebre Mesqel Lalibela would be proud, and so he should be. Not that he had anything to do with the honey which predates his reign by a few centuries, but you get the idea. Lalibela is the main tourist destination in Ethiopia, and everywhere you go you can tell. Several people attempted to fuck me over quite badly, which make for good stories in real life but not great blog posts.

Avoid the Red Rock Hotel and its incompetent manager at all costs. Before Negus Lalibela, the town was nothing. It was the bees who had the foresight to recognise his sovereignty, and boy did it pay off.

The least I could in return is recognise the bees, and spread the good news of their honey. The script for Bee Movie 2 just writes itself. View all posts by Zac. Godbless You Shemhotep Queen Lorayn.

Seife Tadelle Kidane, President of Africa Speaks There is this expansive understanding and perception that a strong civil society is imperative to fostering development, democracy and human rights that Africa desperately needs.. It is interesting to-see how it has been playing a pivotal role on the continent. However, the role of civil society organizations at national and continental levels remains blurred.
